Well we made it across the water! Gorillaz go Stateside! Touched down after a bumpy old flight, I think the pilot may have opened the cockpit window for a quick ciggie or something. And what's with the seating arrangements?! I was clearly told they'd booked me into one of those new reclining water-beds and I end up in cattle class with some of those irritating 'session' musicians...

To top it off I think the turbulence had a terrible effect on one of my neighbour's bowels. The rumble was so violent it almost shook the plane out of the sky...My drink ended up of the back of the neck of the gonk sitting in front of me...Still, all good and ready to knock the socks of the US of A! Plastic Beach hits America!

And I've had my stage costumes stitched and tailored to perfection; my silver-lined deathly black cape, now with flames up the side, rhinestone-studded bass and diamond encrusted zips added to my pointy Cuban heels! It's Murdoc gone mental! Top stage!

So, Montreal...this is where it all begins. The first date! Thought I'd be meeting all the tour guests at the airport but I saw no sight of them… Bobby Womack, Mos Def, De La Soul, Bashy and Kano from the UK, Little Dragon, Bootie Brown, the Syrian Orchestra, The Demon Strings, The Hypnotic Brass...a couple of those Clash boys...All gone on ahead. But I guess I'll meet them at the show. Opening night!! Montreal, baby!

Anyway, as I said, we landed and decided to head over to the hotel to check out the bar. Grabbed the bags off the conveyor and headed out to the limo pickup only to see the Damon shutting the door and it speeding off!

I swear he saw me, I had to flag down a cab and poor old Cyborg was really struggling carrying all those bags, unfortunately 2D's hands were full with my duty free and I haven't got the frame for it. When I get my hands on him I'm going to throttle the twerp...

So that's that for now...Will post about the hotel later, although...why anyone would care I don't know? Oh yeah, and the shows!!!...forgot about them, (the jet lag setting in), I was in the hotel bar for 2 days before I realised it was Sunday, or was it Wednesday anyway what was I saying?.....

Gorillaz On Tour! This is where it all begins!!! Updates and more info coming soon here...X
